Summer Lures
#1
Rapala Shad Rap 05
Color: Shad · Size: 2 inches
Cast toward deeper structure and points; retrieve with steady, moderate speed to trigger reaction strikes. The falling barometric pressure and partly cloudy conditions favor active, moving baits—work the crankbait with slight pauses to mimic wounded baitfish.
Falling pressure activates bass and makes them aggressive; a compact crankbait matches the shad forage in summer lakes and covers water efficiently in afternoon conditions when fish are transitioning between shallow and deeper zones.
#2
Strike King Tour Grade Swim Jig 3/8 oz
Color: Black/Blue · Size: 3/8 oz
Swim along grass edges, dock pilings, and submerged wood with a steady, medium retrieve. Maintain contact with cover and let the jig's blade flash attract fish in the moderate wind and falling pressure conditions.
Swim jigs excel in summer when bass suspend near cover; the 9 mph wind concentrates baitfish along structure, and falling pressure triggers feeding—the blade flash and vibration cut through partly cloudy light and medium fishing pressure.
#3
Berkley PowerBait Hollow Body Frog 2.5 inch
Color: Black · Size: 2.5 inches
Cast over shallow grass, lily pads, and matted vegetation; use a slow, deliberate walk-the-dog cadence with occasional pauses. The frog's weedless design allows you to fish tight to cover where bass hide in afternoon heat.
At 73°F with falling pressure and partly cloudy skies, bass will move shallow to feed before the pressure system fully develops; a topwater frog targets aggressive fish in shallow cover and provides a different profile than the crankbait and swim jig.
